Chapter 684
Two girls were hanging around, hunting for a chance to ask Roman out for dinner Blut before they could even get a word out, Cornelia stepped up to the plate
With a smile. Comelia said, âSorry, Iâve got dinner plans with my husband tonightâ
This news made Roman go a bit pale, but he quickly shook it off, âYouâre married? When did that happen? How come I didnât hear about it? Where was my wedding invite? Still smiling. Cornelia nonchalantly responded. âWe just met Itâs normal that you wouldnât know about my marriageâ
âAre you mad at me or something? Is that why youâre saying this?â Roman deduced. She must be pissed and saying all this to get under his skin Her rep was shot. What man would want to marry her now?
The only guys who would take her were probably the ones no one else wanted, or those who couldnât find anyone else
Two female colleagues chimed in. âDid you guys know each other before?
Roman didnât answer, his gaze locked on Cornelia. He was Corneliaâs first love. He knew she used to have a thing for him, probably even more than he did for her. How could she just forget about him and marry someone else?
He was certain that no matter how long he was gone, Cornelia would still be waiting for him when he came back.
So, he concluded that Cornelia was lying.
She must be lying
She pretended not to see him today just to get his attention. And boy, did she get it. Then she dropped the bombshell that she was married
She must be playing games with him.
âMad at you?â Cornelia chuckled, her smile radiant, âWe just met. Why would I be mad at you?â
Roman asked, âDo we really not know each other?â
Just as Cornelia was about to respond, Marcus from up ahead turned around and called, âCornelia!â
âMy boss is calling me. I gotta go. After saying this, Cornelia turned around and quickly walked towards Marcus
As she approached Marcus, he asked, âDo you know that guy?â
âNo!â Cornelia answered without hesitation.
Marcus gave her a look and raised an eyebrow, âReally?â
âReally donât know himâ From the moment he told her they were strangers, she no longer knew that man.
âAlright, you donât know him.â Marcus chuckled, picking up his pace, âCome to my office!
Comelia followed him into the CEOâS office
Just as she stepped into the room, before the door could get closed, he pushed her against the wall.
And then, he kissed her passionately
He only kissed her wounds. Soon, Corneliaâs mouth was filled with the metallic taste of blood.
